== Release Manager ==

The release manager is '''TBD'''

== Special Issues ==

This release is likely to be an interim '''test build''' release of Shale technology.  As such, you should assume that the APIs are still evolving and subject to change.  For a stability rating on each API, see http://struts.apache.org/struts-shale/api-stability.html for more information.

== Outstanding Bug Review ==

|| '''ID''' || '''Summary''' || '''Component''' || '''Status''' ||
|| [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35066 35066] || Serious issue with dialog state || dialog || LATER[1] ||
|| [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35839 35839] || Clay processes components inside HTML comments || clay || LATER[2] ||
|| [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37024 37024] || No clay component configuration for MyFaces Tomahawk || clay || LATER[3] ||
|| [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37120 37120] || IFrame does not work properly inside Shale dialog || dialog || LATER[4] ||
|| [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37643 37643] || Add documentation for "tiles" and "remoting" features || docs || RFE[5] ||


[1] The dialog facility is in need of improved functionality for handling multiple simulteously active dialogs, and dealing with back buttons.  This issue is deferred to Shale 1.0.3 or later.

[2] The proposed solution to this issue is to cut-n-paste the HTML parser that Tapestry uses for reading templates.  Before going that way, it would be appropriate to see if the Tapestry developers were interested in abstracting out this code (perhaps to a commons project) so that it could be shared more easily.

[3] The Shale contribution to addressing this issue is to ensure that META-INF/clay-config.jar resources in JAR files loaded as part of the application are automatically loaded.  The actual configuration resources for a given component library such as Tomahawk, however, should be provided by the component library itself rather than by Shale.

[4] Will be addressed as part of the overall support for multiple simultaneously active dialogs.

[5] RFE to be reviewed for a subsequent release.


== Remaining Development Tasks ==

|| '''Description''' || '''Status''' ||
|| Dialog - support multiple in-progress dialogs || LATER ||
|| (New) - optional layer of annotation support if running on JavaSE 5 || (./) ||
|| Documentation - finish basic feature descriptions || LATER ||

== Preparation Checklist ==

|| '''#''' || '''Description''' || '''Status''' ||
|| 1. || Announce plan to dev@ list || _ ||
|| 2. || Review/Complete Remaining Development Tasks || _ ||
|| 3. || Review/Resolve Outstanding Bugs || _ ||

The Commons [http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/prepare.html Preparation Guide] is a helpful preparation backgrounder, but Commons
uses the "beta/release-candidate/final" process.

Likewise, the [http://httpd.apache.org/dev/release.html HTTPD Release Guidelines] is a helpful "overall process" backgrounder,
but HTTPD does not use a test-build stage.

Dependency versions for this release:

|| '''Dependency''' || '''Version''' || '''Status''' ||'''Used In''' ||
|| Commons !BeanUtils || 1.7.0 || Released || core, clay ||
|| Commons Chain || 1.0.0 || Released || core, clay ||
|| Commons Digester || 1.7.0 || Released || core, clay ||
|| Commons Logging || 1.0.4 || Released || core, clay, test, usecases ||
|| Commons Validator || 1.2.0 || Released || core ||
|| JavaServer Faces || 1.1 || Released || core, clay, test, usecases ||
|| Spring Framework (Optional) || 1.2.2 || Released || core ||
|| Struts Tiles Standalone || --- || Struts Sandbox || core ||

Because this is a test build release, a dependency on an unreleased component is acceptable.
